Just sitting here outside on a beautiful evening, sipping an ale and pondering the universe. I love these times when I'm on my own, it's quiet and all seems well with the world.
A couple of funny observations I have made in a couple of nights staying at Caravan parks - this is not something I usually do, so watching the Grey Nomads roll up in an evening is quite entertaining.
The other night, while talking to an elderly gentleman about the 101 and my camping setup, he asked me (as I was on an unpowered site) if I would be starting my generator up when it got dark. I told him I don't have a gen, and my lights and fridge run off a battery. Well, you could have knocked him down with a feather.
"You can run a fridge of a battery?" He said incredulously. I then showed him the dual batteries, and the Engel and told him this setup would run the fridge for several days, even if I didn't put the solar panel out. He went away quite amazed at how technology had progressed...
Tonight, I'm again the only one on an unpowered site. I just went for a walk around the park, and there are quite a few nomads in tonight that are 'just passing through'. They set up just after me in their shiny vans. As mentioned at the start of this thread, it is a great evening to be outside. It is warm, there is a slight breeze and there are very few bugs, so you can imaging where all the nomads are right?
Yep, sitting inside their vans, watching their tellys.....
Give me strength, why don't the just stay at home if that's all they want to do...
Don't get me wrong, the people I've talked to have been very nice, but they just do things a bit different from me - which is fine, but it does amuse me.
